Well here goes - my first post on a new blog which I have been meaning to start for a very long time and have now finally plucked up the courage as part of my New Year resolution list ~ which happens to be as long as my arm again this year...
I have been inspired by so many other vintage obsessed bloggers (I didn't realise there were quite so many afflicted with this wonderful passion) and encouraged by lots of lovely people that I have met over the last few months to put pen to paper (or press a few buttons on a keyboard!). December was truly, madly, busy! There was smoke coming out of my sewing machine until the early hours most days as I tried to get stock ready for craft and gift fairs. I had an especially lovely time at the Holiday Bazaar hosted by the Chiltern American Women's Association ~ my idea of bliss is to share thoughts about collecting and making with vintage textiles, buttons, ribbons, jewels and more ~ such a festive, friendly atmosphere!
Now the Christmas holidays are nearly over and my brain is already working overtime with lots of new ideas and inspirations ~ a good excuse (as if I needed one) to stock up with more vintage goodies. I look forward to sharing my 'loved in a previous life' finds with you all!
